It's good to see Microsoft is actually learning from the utter PR disaster and scrapping the always online aspect. However, until they get rid of the region locking, make the kinect and all of that media center software strictly optional (though admittedly, the PS4 is still guilty of that media center stupidity) and, most importantly, price it to better reflect its capabilities relative to the PS4, I say the PS4 is still hands down the superiour console. Of course, making those changes now would probably be way too costly, since manufacturing has already begun and devs are already making games for the console as it is now, so I suppose it's safe to say that Microsoft is royally fucked. They're never getting out of this lovely hole they dug for themselves, that's for sure.
